Information for Safe, Efficient Operation

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted updated RF energy exposure guidelines for wireless products
regulated by the FCC. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards* previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of your Motorola two-way radio complies with the
FCC guidelines and these standards.
*American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992);
*National Council on Radiation Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP-1986);
*International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNRP- 1986)
To assure optimal radio performance and to insure that exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, properly install
antennas externally on the vehicle, following recommended installation
procedures.
Transmit only when people inside or outside the vehicle are 1 to 3 feet
away from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna; distance
guidelines for the different power levels are summarized in the table
